LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
Judge Cooley Explains Why tho Provisions
| Of tho ClnuAn Wara SuananIsa ~

| Ok the Cihuse were Suspended.
CHICAGO, April l3.-Judge r. NJ. Coo
Icy, Chairman Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, is In the city engaged
in settling up his accounts as receiver O
tho Wabash Railway.
He was interviewed to-day by a press
representative In regard to the recent &C.
ton ot the Commission In Buupending the
operation OF tho long and short haul sec
ton OF the new law for the roads In the
Southern Railway Steamahip Association
which has called forth 30 much unfsyor.
able notice. =
judge Cooley, In reply, said that the
Commissioners, after thoroughly discuss.
Ing the arguments presented BY the yari.
GUS roads, came to the conclusion that
justice required that they should move
slowly on question OF such great impor.
tance, and that they should not take
action that would be definite and final In
its effect without first making themselves
fully acquainted with the situation. This
was deemed particularly important, be.
cause the law went into effect so soon af.
ter the appointment Of tho Commission,
and the railroads had hardly time to adopt
their tariffs and rules to accord with the
provisions Of the ne~ law. q.
The Commission. he said, did not recop.
nize the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association, as had been claimed, but
based Its action upon the individual argu.
ments presented by the representatives OF
the various roads In that association, es.
pecially the Louisville 4 Nashville, East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and
other leading southern roads. The claim
that the Commission erred in extending
the order to all southern roads south OF
the Ohio river and east OF the Mississippi
river, he did not think held good, as not
only the competition by the steamship
lines had to be taken into consideration
but also the competition by the Mississippi
river. and other southern nayigable rivers.
He did not think any injustice was
dono to the roads this aide OF the Ohio
river by granting temporary relief TO the
Southern roads. To change the rates to
conform with the new law by the roads in
this part OF the country was but tnfling as
compared with the changes necessary by
tie roads in the South, and a decipion
that they must conform with the long and
short haul section Of the law without
atording them reasonable time to do 80
might have subjected them to serious
trouble and loss. II the commission findn
upon personal investigation that no good
cause exists for giving the Southern roads,
or any other roads, the privilege OF max
ing special through rates to meet alleged
water competition it would at once COM
pei those roads TO conform strictly with
the provisions Of the long and short haul
section.
Judge Cooley also stated that the Com
mission would not tolerate any discrimin.
alton on the part OF the Southern roads
against the merchants in Western cities.
As regards other problems to be aolyed by
the Commission he could not express him.
self, as those questions had not yet come
up for consideration.
